Day 3
We woke up rather late. The whole trip we were on Vancouver time, all of our meals were 2 hours later then normal. We spent the better half of the day on the beach. We played some ping pong and had lunch at the Westin. Lunch was fantastic, we would have lunch at the same place throughout the week, but this first time was stellar. The salsa was unbelievable. Will could eat it by the spoonful.
Sitting on the beach was so relaxing. Great weather, drinks on the beach side, this was paradise. We took a lot of pictures today, walking around the beach. Too bad we didn't bring a camera on the snorkeling trip yesterday, I would've loved to have taken some pictures there.
I didn't put enough sunscreen on and ended up having a slight burn on my shoulders and chest. We spent the entire afternoon in the sun on the beach.
For dinner we went to downtown Los Palmas (sp?). Dinner was great, I love the food here in Puerto Vallarta. I was expecting to eat tacos and burritos all week, but I was totally wrong.
After dinner we walked around downtown, everywhere we walked we were harassed by people trying to sell to us tours, time shares, taxi rides, tittie bars. Yes people were trying to get us to go to strip clubs. I think they make commission. 'Taxi?' "No thanks" 'Tittie bars?'
Before we ate dinner we bumped into this kid named Devin. First impression this guy looks young, yet here he was talking to us about clubs and drinking, and where all the girls were going to be. We told him that we were planning on going to Senor Frogs (a pub / club) but he told us to go to Collage instead. There was a foam party happening at Collage. I told him he looked young and he said he was 14.
We didn't listen to Devin, so we went to Senor Frogs anyways. Senor Frogs was a nice place, right at the entrance they had girls greeting you then take you by the arm to sit down. At Senor Frogs a bunch of people were dancing on the floor while hip hop was being blasted. We bought a round of Sol for around $4 a pop, which is eight times more expensive then at Oxxo. After a couple of songs, a live band took the floor and that's when we left.
We cabbed back to the hotel first, why I don't remember. But that's when we met our favorite cabbie: Rodriguez. Super friendly cabbie, told us about the 'attractions' and gave us a good price.
From the hotel we made our way to Collage via taxi, and some kid (he looked 8) opened our door, and when we didn't tip him he looked like he wanted to head butt us. We paid the $30 cover charge and went in. $30 came with an open bar (sold!) but the bar was swarmed. I waited 10-15 minutes at the bar before I got my first drink.
We found a table to sit at, I was DD (wasn't driving, but I had to get everyone back to the hotel in one piece). Collage was packed, all with young people as well. Girls in bikinis, guys in board shorts, an endless stream of foam flowing from the ceiling. The main dance floor, which was steps down compared to everywhere else (think coliseum style), was a cesspool of tightly packed bodies. We all had shoes, but Shum, Will, and Julio all jumped into the pool of foam without worries. Costa being the genius that he is took his shoes and socks off and walked around barefoot.
I think I ended up drinking 7 cups of beer, Costa claims to have drank 10, but who can trust a guy walking around barefoot? After a few hours of dancing, they cleared the dance floor. They were going to have a wet t-shirt contest. Girls representing Canada, US, and hometown Mexico. Everyone cheered for their respective country, until the 'Take it off!' chants started, everyone took part in the 'Take it off!' chants no matter which girl was on. The girl from Mexico ended up winning based on the volume of cheering, but surprisingly the crowd seemed to be evenly distributed.
Costa having apparently drank 10 beers tried to talk to the Canada girl, told her he thought she should've won (in other words: you looked the best in a wet t-shirt). Didn't turn out to be anything, but you have to give the man props for doing that.
After we left Collage, we decided to walk back to the hotel, save ourselves $10. Costa issued a challenge to all of us, he wanted to race us running backwards, maybe he did have 10 beers? He ran backwards for quite a while until we yelled at him.
Back at the hotel Costa said he'd take a shower in the morning, claimed he didn't need to shower right now. I would've dragged him into the shower myself if he didn't go willingly, walking around barefoot is just plain disgusting.
It didn't take too long for me to fall asleep after I showered, I pretty much went into deep sleep before my head was on the pillow. I'm a fantastic DD.
